1400–1200 BCE: Yahweh originated as a regional storm and war deity of the Shasu nomads in the southern deserts around Edom & Midian. He is also associated with mountains, fire, and metallurgy. Egyptian papyruses mention them many times. Apparently, they considered them a nuisance.1200–1000 BCE: As nomads settled in the highlands, Yahweh became adopted into the Canaanite pantheon. Oldest texts (Deut 32:8, particularly from the Dead Sea Scrolls) show him as one of the 70 sons of El(the MOST High/supreme God), receiving Israel as his minor "allotted portion." This line later got changed to accommodate the transition to monotheism.1000–600 BCE: The Israelites promoted Yahweh as their national "champion." He begins absorbing the attributes of El (Creator/Father) and Baal (Rider on the Clouds) and is given a wife, Asherah, who had previously been El’s consort. As time went on, more edits and corrections were made to monotheize the narrative away from the pantheon.586–538 BCE: Following the exile from Babylon, priests solved the crisis of being defeated”, by claiming Yahweh wasn’t just their god, but the only God. Other deities are "assassinated" in the text (Psalm 82) and demoted to powerless idols or "angels", it isn’t clear what happened exactly.500 BCE – Present: The Torah is edited into its final monotheistic form. Earlier polytheistic footprints are redacted to present Yahweh as the eternal, one and only Creator.

>>18487793The inscription on there literally says>𐤁𐤓𐤊𐤕 𐤀𐤕𐤊𐤌 𐤋𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 𐤔𐤌𐤓𐤍 𐤅𐤋𐤀𐤔𐤓𐤕𐤄Which translates as>I bless you by Yahweh, our guardian/of Samaria, and by his/its asherah/Asherah.That is infact a depiction of Yahweh. Cope.
Abrahamoids been really quiet since this dropped
>>18487796The inscription came first, the image was made independently and after the inscription. Nobody but /pol/tards believe that image is Yahweh, it's clearly Bes
>>18487803The image was made to represent what the inscription said. Cope
>>18487677
>>18487796It is possible that some iconic Yahwists used the local deity as an aesthetic influence for their God. But just as easily you could say that the inscription was graffiti put over top of an older work of art of a rival religion. Or the other way around, some Bes/Beset worshipers defeated some Yahwists and inscribed their God over top some Yahwist religious material.
>>18487677shasu bedouins? ahahah he's a bedouin god
>>18487875Yes, and this Simpson character is clearly called “One for the road”. You can see it from the inscription next to the image. There is no other possibility.
>>184877962 Kings 17:16 “And they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal."The bible actually records that the Israelites constantly turned to idol worship and asherah alongside worshipping God, it was the driving force of condemnation for half the minor prophets. So this is proof of scripture, not a refutation of it.
>>18490214Moabite Bedouin copper smelting storm god lmao.
>>18490233Your scripture is mostly polemics that try to smear one faction within the Tribes by likening them to some historical movement that had a different theology.Anyone who reads Judges, Samuel, Kings and Chronicles and doesn't come to this conclusion is genuinely subhumanly stupid.
>>18487677Eekum Bokum
>>18490233Except all evidence shows that Jewish monotheism evolved out of Canaanite paganism and not the other way around, there was never any “original monotheism” and the apostasy depicted in 2 Kings was in reality the original state of things, not some later perversion as monotheism didn’t exist at all until after the Babylonian exile (and as a coping mechanism to getting BTFO by Babylon).
>>18487677BUMP
>>18487793>>18487803Bes is stocky and short like a little dwarf, the entity in the picture has a different morphology, and a female companion with breasts, unlike Bes which is typically alone. I find it more likely that the Shasu simply took inspiration from Bes to make their own derivation. No reason why it couldn't simply be a continuum of stylistic influences given their geographical proximity.
>>18490223That's clearly the gods Horse and Groom
